How do entrepreneurs come up with great ideas?
Tobin Buckner is JumpStart's Akron entrepreneurial community manager and contributes a monthly blog about entrepreneurship in the region.
Every successful business begins as an idea. But how do those ideas form? How is it that some people seem to pull game-changing concepts out of thin air, while others struggle to come up with even one original business idea?
I have spoken personally with numerous entrepreneurs whose biggest ideas stemmed from experiences that frustrated them. Take Jeff Hoffman, a member of the founding team of Priceline.com. Hoffman's big idea came from his frustration over trying to navigate the inefficient process of purchasing airline tickets and dealing with customer service at the airport. Without the problem, there would have been nothing to solve.
Pinpointing the problem is the first step, but successful entrepreneurs also have a knack for determining what it will take in time and money to test their potential solution. Neglect this market-testing phase at your own peril. Even if the results are not positive, it's always better to fail quickly and cheaply than prolong the agony by sinking more time and money into an idea that doesn't actually solve a problem.
While most entrepreneurs are reasonably intelligent, it's not their IQ that propels them to success, but a combination of hard work, good luck and failure.
Most successful entrepreneurs fail at some point and are forced to adapt repeatedly before they eventually find success. The story of Facebook (originally named The Facebook) is a perfect example. It's hard to imagine Mark Zuckerberg as anything but a visionary, but his first foray into social media was little more than an online portal built to rate the looks of the girls at Harvard University. Needless to say, it took a few revisions to create today's 1.5 billion user empire.
Perhaps the most destructive myth for young entrepreneurs is that there are some ideas so good they are predestined to succeed. Just find one of these ideas, the story goes, and you'll never work another day in your life.
Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no substitute for hard work. In fact, many entrepreneurs will tell you that they have to work twice as hard as they did when they were somebody else's employee in order to succeed at building their own business.
So, how do entrepreneurs come up with all of these great ideas? Perhaps the more important question is whether entrepreneurs are willing to do what is necessary to build upon their idea once they've found it.
That, more than any other factor, will determine whether or not they succeed.

From the verb sacar, to remove or displace, sacadas play into the game-like aspect of tango where the leader "invades" the follower's space. Tango, a dance of seduction and betrayal, is rife with such play. During the best-executed sacadas, the follower doesn't even know her space has been invaded. Come learn the secret of—as they say in that American pastime—stealing bases.

Coghlan content with European run
13 January 2020 15:00 By Jonathan Whitney
Tigers back-rower Jordan Coghlan says the Leicester squad are pleased to have extended their unbeaten run in Europe – albeit with a 'scrappy' win over Cardiff Blues.
Geordan Murphy's men came from behind to secure a 30-20 victory at Welford Road on Sunday and book their place in the European Challenge Cup quarter-finals with a pool game to spare – at Pau this Saturday (January 18).
"A win's a win," Coghlan said. "We said before the game that it would be one of those games where they come out all guns blazing, so we just needed to stick together.
"I think you saw that in the second half when we probably put it together a little bit more."
After a tense first 40 minutes – with two Cardiff tries book-ending a Sam Lewis score – a reinvigorated Tigers side took to the field after the break to wrestle back the match.
Coghlan continued: "We stuck to our game plan more in the second half, with the backs doing a bit of damage after the forwards put in the hard yards, trucking it up.
"With Jordan [Olowofela] on the wing and Telusa [Veainu] at the back, they just opened up the field for us."
Tigers now travel to France with an opportunity to clinch home advantage in the first knockout round, with the 27-year-old explaining the side can already take huge positives from their European campaign so far.
"We're looking forward to next week against Pau," he added. "Even though we've secured a quarter-final, it's still a big game for us to keep on improving, so we'll go over next week and give it a good crack.
"This competition has been huge for us. I think you can see we're getting better every week and getting those important wins – even if they're ugly wins – and when you come in after a win, it's always a better camp, isn't it?
"We know we still have to improve in order to get back to where this club wants to be, and so it has offered another chance for us to build."

9-11 & Oklahoma City
Date Monday - April 18, 2005
Guests Peter Lance
Scarpa, Yousef & OK City
Flight 800 Evidence
WTC Bldg. 7- Untold Story
Investigative reporter Peter Lance returned to the show on the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing to share information about that case, as well as material he has uncovered about the 9-11 attacks. One of his central findings is that Ramzi Yousef was the architect of the 9-11 plot, hatching it in the Philippines in 1994. According to his investigation, the Feds became aware of the scheme in 1995, but were hindered by communication failures and cover-ups between intelligence agencies and the Justice Dept.
Lance reported that a convicted Mafia member named Greg Scarpa Jr. was in a cell next to Yousef, and tipped the FBI that there were al Qaeda connections to both the TWA Flight 800 crash and the Oklahoma City bombing. While Lance believes Scarpa's information is valid, the Justice Dept. has labeled it a scam, he said.
In the case of Flight 800, al Qaeda agents planted a bomb aboard the plane, Lance suggested. In the Oklahoma City bombing, he said there is strong circumstantial evidence that connects Terry Nichols with Yousef, during a period when they were both in the Philippines. He theorized that McVeigh and Nichols were patsies who were used by al Qaeda to carry out their agenda.
Appearing briefly during the first half-hour was Ellen Tesauro, one of the passengers on the cruise ship that was hit by giant waves. It wasn't just one incident, she said, but a 3-hour period where the ship was rocked by 60 ft. waves.

A critical part of securing a Chicago DUI conviction will be proving that the driver was operating a vehicle with a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of .08% or above. While field sobriety tests or opinions as to levels of intoxication can be the foundation for an arrest and for charges being brought against the defendant, there is no question that the most significant of these is the driver's blood alcohol level.
The most common test is the breath test. While blood and urine tests can also be taken and are permissible as evidence, these are less common due to the difficulties in administration; they require medical facilities or clinic-type environments, and there is normally a delay of days in obtaining results.
The first test given is generally a portable breath test which is administered in the field. These results are rarely used as evidence in court but are used mainly to establish probable cause for the officer to make an arrest. The more solid results that will be used as evidence are derived from breathalyzer machines. These are generally kept at police stations but some units, especially those set up to catch drivers at roadblocks, will have these available for field testing.
While one can, in theory, refuse to take these tests this does not mean one can or will not suffer the penalties. Illinois law recognizes the concept of "implied consent", which is established based upon the fact that when a driver signs to receive his or her license that he or she also agrees to submit to chemical testing after a lawful DUI arrest. Refusal to take the test is a refusal to comply with your previous implied agreement to take BAC tests when driving. This will therefore most likely lead to the immediate suspension of your license and other possible penalties.
As any experienced Chicago DUI lawyer can tell you, there are many flaws and potential problems with breath and blood tests. At the Law Offices of Howard J. Wise & Associates we have long since learned, after literally hundreds and hundreds of DUI cases, that these tests may not be infallible. They are often administered incorrectly or may be administered with a unit that is not properly calibrated. There may be other problems that must be immediately investigated for your defense. We understand the weaknesses in these tests and in the procedures. If you have been pulled over for a suspected DUI and had a BAC of .08 or above, do not give up hope.
Even if you were told that you failed a breath test or blood test, it is imperative that you contact a Chicago DUI attorney who will know exactly what to look for in handling your case. Call today!


If you are seeking for fiberglass kit vehicles for sale, check out this choice. All players across the automotive worth chain are interested in collecting more client and car data, but uncertainty about how to use it is nonetheless widespread. India is anticipated to turn out to be the third biggest industry for electric autos by 2025 at two.5 million vehicles. I think out of the jobs listed, the 1 I would get pleasure from the most would be classic automobile restorer. If your taking and old automobile and producing it appear like a million dollar super exotic its worth the time but to take a old p..s. and place a body on it to make it look like an older p..s well thats just dumb.
Direct components in this distinct business are incredibly crucial so you have to buy your components at what ever cost needed. The new vehicle combined Honda engine and transmission designs with a BL body, as did its successor model – the Rover 200 Series – in 1984. Most dealers charge 1 hour diagnosis and they have to pay the tech for his time spent on the automobile. The sector requires huge expenditure on R&D, and many countries are currently far ahead of us in the new automotive trends.
Getting 1st in the race to produce secure, effective autonomous driving systems is paramount for carmakers, which have seen profit losses as younger generations move to service models – favouring Uber and the sharing economy over automobile ownership. It can not be completed everywhere due to computer software limitations, it will need intelligent roads and far more controlled scenario (and auto communication network too), otherwise a human like intelligence is necessary and we are not at that level, nowhere close to. Some aspects of trade policy also did not aid the car industry and manufacturing usually.
I think that each and every car seller Must make certain the car they are selling is in the greatest condition and should not charge the purchaser for it. If you believe that almost everything is very good to go, then do not get fixes. For that reason, men and women who had been earlier component of the little vehicle segment now have moved over to the premium automobile segment, and those in this segment have moved over to the luxury automobile segment.
The organization was also elected World's Leading Leisure Auto Rental Organization for the second year in a row. I have Citroen zx 1.4i avantage 1995 model the problem is i can not find the manufacturing date in the body so that i can not pay the tax of duty and there is no a dealer in my nation Ethiopia for the component,the rest i love it the car it is very comfortable good fuel consumption. You put the vehicle into first gear, but you didn't give the automobile adequate gas to move.


DC is getting ready for another CRISIS (rumored to be the "FINAL CRISIS") event, right?
Well, maybe. After all, INFINITE CRISIS didn't kill Wally West, really… he just sort of vanished, and DC never bothered to tell us where he went… that, along with a bumpy start to BART ALLEN'S run as FLASH, has a lot of fans clamoring for the return of Wally, or even better, BARRY ALLEN… with a movie in development that will almost certainly feature good ol' Barry, its not hard to imagine, either.
But it might be a HUGE mistake, too. Marc Guggenheim just took over the writing chores on Flash, and I'll be damned if he hasn't turned it into a fun, exciting book again. Some fans are slowly but surely beginning to warm to young Bart.
Yeah, mistakes have been made (like the weird aging thing), and the lack of closure on Wally West's fate certainly didn't help matters– but the new team seems to genuinely GET the character, and it would be a shame if they had the rug pulled out from under them, just when they're starting to get their footing.
So let's hope there's a little more to this story, and maybe DC gives this new Flash a little more time to win an audience. Guess we'll find out eitherway in Flash #13. Maybe.

(c) The commission shall propose rules for legislative approval in accordance with §29A-3-1 et seq., of this code in order to implement the purpose of this article. The rules shall provide regulatory guidelines, without limitation, that include at a minimum, financial and betting reserve accounting practices and other necessary and appropriate requirements to properly assure financial viability and proper operation The commission shall incorporate by reference in these rules appropriate statutes and other rules contained in and relating to article twenty-five of this chapter necessary to properly and effectively regulate sport pool betting activities; and provide for reasonable annual licensing fees, licensed gaming facilities sufficient for the commission to regulate this activity.

Expenditures for the fund are not authorized from collections but are to be made only in accordance with the appropriation by the Legislature in accordance with §12-3-1 et seq., and upon fulfillment of §11B-2-1 et seq., of this code: Provided, That for the first fiscal year ending June 30, following authorization of sports pool betting, expenditures are authorized from collections rather than pursuant to appropriation by the Legislature.
(e) No wagers may be accepted or paid by any book on any amateur sport or athletic event other than collegiate sporting or athletic events and Olympic sporting or athletic events sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, subject to limitations and rules of the commission. No wagers may be accepted or paid off premises of the licensed facility.

Planned Parenthood Has a Staffer Dedicated Entirely to Hobnobbing With the Hollywood Elite
Gabriel Hays Sep 25, 2019 | 6:07PM Washington, DC
It's no secret that Hollywood relishes including abortion in its television programs or movies. Not only is it a great way to promote a staple left agenda item, it's a satisfying dig at those pro-lifers. Though what might not be so apparent is that this isn't just a lefty producer's personal politics bleeding through onto the script but actual Planned Parenthood propaganda encouraged via the abortion mill's own consultants planted in the industry.
The Washington Post Magazine reported that abortion depictions in pop culture are not only progressive tinsel townies digging in for the culture war. There exists an active PR partnership between Hollywood studios and abortion providers like Planned Parenthood in order to push for the murderous procedure in pop culture even as many states seek to banish abortion providers.
The paper claimed, "For nearly 50 years, it has been legal to have an abortion in America yet stubbornly taboo to show one on television or film." The opposite is happening now as progressives, noting abortion is less popular and in legal danger, are "fortifying a new freedom" to depict it on screen.
This issue is so important to pro-aborts in Hollywood and so crucial to Planned Parenthood's survival that abortion consultants like Caren Spruch — the magazine called her "Planned Parenthood's secret weapon" — are meeting with showbiz screenwriters and encouraging "screenwriters to tell stories about abortion and works as a script doctor for those who do."
Spruch official PP title is "director of arts and entertainment engagement," and according to the outlet it's an occupation that "now seems to be increasingly welcome in Hollywood." If you're curious, Spruch's most recent propaganda work was showcased via Hulu series Shrill, a dramedy starring Saturday Night Live actress Aidy Bryant. The show features a gratutitous abortion scene, depicting the actress at total peace with her child murder, and saying that doing it made her feel "fucking powerful."
Shrill writer Lindy West took pride in the fact that the scene was "almost boring television" because that's just how good Spruch's propaganda is at normalizing child killing.
Yeah and for that lovely scene, you have Miss Spruch to thank and other PP foot soldiers moving into the entertainment sector. The point is to get culture to fully embrace abortion so that future legislative abortion restrictions will be thoroughly resisted. Planned Parenthood is savvy enough to recognize that "politics is downstream from culture."
Planned Parenthood Senior Vice President of Communications and Culture Melanie Rousell Newman explained it, saying "We've seen pop culture change views around LGBTQ issues, for example, and pop culture has the power to challenge abortion stigma, too." And judging by how much LGBTQ overrepresentation there is in our culture now, it's a worrisome tactic.
Students For Life of America president Kristan Hawkins knows the danger. She claimed, "You can't just change laws; you have to change culture, and young people are the drivers of culture." Where Planned Parenthood may lose a Title X fight, they may gain a generation via prevalent social media and streaming platforms.

Benedict Cumberbatch, I knew you were the type to look off-duty dapper, but I didn't think that you could also do downright cool. Your bomber and denim combo shows me that you can, in fact, do casual cool just as well as red carpet ready. Even though you've made a steady showing in previous years' Men's Style Madness, is 2017 the year of Cumberbatch?
Rami Malek, on the other hand, is never not cool. Whether its a bomber, a suit, or a Hawaiian shirt, Rami nails the fit, color and visual interest categories with flying colors. Plus, he clearly doesn't take his "aesthetic" too seriously, because he's game to throw some funny faces on the red carpet – who doesn't love that kind of confidence? Whether it's a few breath mints or a favorite fragrance, Rami definitely has some tricks up his sleeve to keeping his cool.
Anyone who was listening to Megan's live recap on Instagram Stories last night heard about Joe Biden's run in with a dog named Biden, and you know that his style runs deep. When he's not donning a suit, the former Vice President rocks dark denim, aviators and his amazing leather bomber on his days off. He definitely makes a case for minimal wardrobe.
Oscar Isaac is the kind of guy who knows how to use a hat on a bad hair day to make you think he's really having a good hat day. His causal style never feels too curated, but the fit is always spot on, and even in formalwear he knows how to flatter his frame. Plus, that 5 o'clock shadow is totally effortless chic for men – next time you think about going for a shave, try sudsing up but letting it grow a little a la Oscar.
We've had some industry members in past years of Men's Style Madness, and this is where we've seen traditional celebrity break their stride – Wooster lost to Ryan Gosling not once, but twice, both years in Round 2. Will this menswear blogger be the change this bracket deserves, or is he not the one we need right now? I think we can all agree that his knack for double breasted suiting is pretty impressive.
Riz Ahmed's Valentino suit is a sartorial mike drop – tailored to perfection, covered in stars and flowers, and just crazy enough for an event like the Elle Style Awards. Granted, he also looks just as good in a plain black suit because, again, tailored beautifully. The (kind-of) off duty style is really wear where the money is though – at his chats with Kiss FM UK, he looks just as sharp as he does in suiting.
By no surprise did Idris Elba make it to Round 2 – last year he went all the way to the Elite 8. Elba's style is the perfect blend of modern and classic, with perfect fit and a great dash of color. His style is definitely the kind that every guy could pull off, but not every guy thinks to put together, which is what make's his style a game changer.
On Instagram Stories with Megan last night, Megan called out that the thing that's interesting about Sam Hunt's style is his appreciation for trends that aren't usually represented in his category of music. While his musical genre is country, his style can read more pop star. His confidence to go against the grain of his corner of the industry is definitely a cool move, and could make him a catalyst for a style change for all country musicians.

A sidhe is a fairy mound that acts as a portal between two worlds. One of these ancient Irish openings is explored by Diedre, a fourteen-year-old American who is visiting Ireland, the home of her mother, just after the death of her grandmother.
SIDHE: The Alphabet of the Trees centers on Deidre's quest to find answers to her heritage. This leads her into a web of intrigue, as well as a place to mourn the loss of her mother's mother, and to find herself in places with wide-reaching implications. Deidre begins to understand her own place within her family, and of the Irish folk culture that is rich in the notions of identity, belief, and love in its various forms.
This timeless story takes Diedre from New York City to Ireland. Sometimes she is in pre-Celtic Eire, or sliding through the timeless wind of a sidhe, or perhaps she is at the castle of the great king of Ulster, or scrambling through the world of the Aine in Limerick or Cliodna of Cork.
Join Diedre as she tries to solve the ancient story of the sidhe, its riddle and its promise.

THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: A TO DO LIST FOR THE PLANET
Takeshi Kitano interview
© T.Kitano
Famous showman and star of the small screen in his native japan where he hosts no fewer than eight shows a week, takeshi kitano is "delighted "to be the tara's ambassador in the nippon archipelago. Here's what one of japan's most prominent film directors has to say.
TARA EXPÉDITIONS NEWS : Thank you, Takeshi Kitano, for accepting to take part in this interview…
TAKESHI KITANO : It's a pleasure ! I'm very interested in the Tara. She belongs to agnès b. Allow me to ask you the first question : Where is the Tara at the moment?
This summer (2015) she'll be heading to Greenland and then on to Sweden and Great Britain before returning to France. Allow me to ask you the second question : What is it about the Tara that interests you?
When I was a teenager I was a big fan of Jacques Cousteau and his voyages around the world. His films were shown on Japanese television and they were very popular at the time. Cousteau was such a huge influence that I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a marine biologist. So I went to study at the scientific faculty of Meiji University, but it wasn't for me… It seems to me that the Tarais involved in a similar adventure, albeit one with a different mind-set. What's changed since Cousteau's days is that the state of the planet has got worse. The natural balance has never been in such great danger because of climate change and global warming. The climate is changing and humans are paying the price. Upheavals that perhaps only now are we realizing their gravity.
" It seems to me, like it does to so many others, that the Earth is in a terrible state! I am very happy to make my modest contribution… "
The Tara will soon be undertaking a long expedition, lasting two years, to Asia and she'll be stopping off in Japan before setting out on a second Arctic drift in 2019..
In the meantime, if I can find a gap in my work agenda— and it is very full — I would really love to embark on the Tara. In 2019 I would love to go to the North Pole with the Tara and her team so I could do some reporting and explain to viewers back home in Japan why the polar ice-cap is melting and that polar bears are having to swim miles and miles to reach stable ice. And even if I can't go aboard the Tara, I will still be able to relay the information on Japanese TV channels. I could talk about the Tara, as I have been doing recently, and encourage tele-vision producers to talk about the expedition in their programmes. That way Tara Expeditions will get more and more enthusiastic supporters in my home country ! In my programmes I often remind viewers, as well as the big companies in Japan —a country which is often considered to be the fifth biggest polluter in the world and home to big businesses such as Toyota—that we need to make greater efforts to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. I have also asked business leaders and major Japanese industrials to actively support Tara Expeditions. One of them said to me: "Sponsor the Tara yourself ! "
Could the Tara help raise awareness of climate change among the Japanese ?
Yes, probably, because the strength of Tara Expeditions is, as I see it, that you know how to use the big media outlets to get the results of your research into the public arena, in particular television. TV is the media of the people. It's only with the small screen that we can talk to the majority about environmental problems. The questions that Tara Expeditions raises are not always easy to understand for the ordinary man in the street.
You are interested in the sea. When you were a child, your father took you by the hand one fine morning to see the sea for the first time, in the south of Tokyo. One of your films is called A Scene at the Sea(1). You have also talked in the past about Jacques Mayol, a Frenchman who often came to Japan to swim with dolphins…
Mayol, yes… The diver made famous in the film by Besson, The Big Blue. Mayol was able, I believe, to hold his breath for seven or eight minutes during deep-sea dives. Mayol practised yoga during his visits to Japan, a particular type of yoga that helped him develop his breathing technique. But I must come back to Cousteau, he really impressed me. In the end I didn't become a marine biologist. Life decided otherwise and I took to the stage, theatre… But this interest for the planet, for the sea and the natural world has remained with me. And it seems to me, like it does to so many others, that the Earth is in a terrible state ! I am very happy to make my modest contribution to the actions of the Tara.

An excellent smile is constantly stated to have a favorable impact of a person over others. Detrimentally discovered and uneven teeth provide the impression of an extremely poorly handled as well as undesirable impression of a person.

please indicate Bristol (William of Portsmouth) Corys branch of the family.
The information is this section is gathered from the database used in the creation of the William Cory Branch in Volume 2 of Corys in America, 2nd Edition by Al B. Cory.
The information has been updated and corrected from the published work. Most of the corrections have been furnished by the Societies Genealogist, Charlotte Muller.
William Cory was born about 1628 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. He was christened on 21 May 1634 in St James Parish Church, Bristol. His parents were John Corye and Agnis Wauker. His father was a sailor, and after he died, Agnis married John Roome. Agnis died in 1669/70 in Rhode Island.
It is not known when William travelled to America or with whom. The first record of William in Massachusetts was when he received a grant of land at Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 10 December 1657. He had a grant of 8 acres of land. Ann Roome, his grandmother, was the grantor. 18 May 1658 William was made a freeman. 28 Oct 1662 he let or hired out his now dwelling house, with fenced land, to Peter Folger of Newport, for five years with conditions for improving the farm.. He was a carpenter and a Freeman, marrying Mary Earle, daughter of Ralph Earle of Portsmouth, and the family did well in the whaling industry. William returned to England with his brother-in-law in 1669/70 to claim property deeded to him by his grandmother. He died on 8 Feb 1681/82 in Portsmouth, Newport Co. RI.
Records for 1667 show the widow of John Roome deeded two mansions in the parish of St James, Bristol, to William but there is no corresponding records in Bristol. William had two sisters and one brother, Thomas, who died in 1623.
For the most part, the descendants of William have elected to add an "e" to their name. This has been added at various times. In the UK, the name is most often spelled Cory.
Further information is need to tie in the William of Portsmouth line to their English ancestors. Currently all we know is that he originated in Bristol, England, but we have been unable to locate any Cory family in that area with the same DNA. Further DNA data is required to make this connection. All male Corys are welcome to participate in our joint DNA project. Please refer to our DNA page for further information.

Woodward and Bernstein Dish
By access
Two of the towering figures in journalism—men who defined my generation—took the stage yesterday at FAU and talked casually about what is generally regarded as "the greatest single reporting of all time"—the Watergate investigation by the Washington Post. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are silver-haired now, almost statesmanlike, but you could still see the scrappy kid in Bernstein, countered by the midwestern elegance of his partner in the story, Bob Woodward. The latest in Larkin Symposium speaker series at FAU, yesterday's lecture was "Inside the White House from Nixon to Obama—A Conversation with Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein" moderated by former director of the Nixon Library, Dr. Timothy Naftali.
The conversation was chilling as well as darkly funny—tales of bumbling Watergate burglars with address books listing the "W. House" (Woodward: "That could have only meant two things—and it wasn't what Bernstein said, the whorehouse.") Of Nixon's rages, the 4,000 hours of tapes both men listened to ("even in the car"), the personal threats to Bernstein by Attorney General John Mitchell when the latter realized the investigation was closing in, the ever-supportive editor Ben Bradlee, who "stood up for us" in their quest for what they called "the best obtainable version of the truth" even when their own Washington Press Corps colleagues sided with the rest of America in ridiculing the Post's ongoing investigation.
Woodward and Bernstein, who won a Pulitzer Prize for the work that would eventually topple President Nixon, painted a portrait of a man who was at once autocratic and criminal, yet had a "fascinating" political mind, and who was, after all, a tragic figure. "Hate was the piston during his administration," Woodward said. Bernstein said the whole affair demonstrates "what a truly free press means for the country."
Both men were affable and outspoken, critical of government secrecy, the public's lack of curiosity, Obama's triumphs and failures, Benghazi, and the current state of the press. They were generous of their time, still going strong after 90 minutes, when droves of grey-haired audience members apparently decided it was time to go, presumably to catch an early bird special somewhere. But that kind of rudeness is for another blog; this one will stay on topic, which is that Boca had the opportunity to listen to history yesterday from two journalists who redefined investigative reporting for all time.
Maybe the best takeaway from the lecture was what Woodward said about his longtime editor, Bob Kaiser, who worked at the Post for 50 years before he retired recently. Woodward said it was a tearful occasion in the newsroom, but he will always remember what the old editor said upon his departure: "Remember, it's all about the reporting. Save the ship."

GYBN is a unique network which unites young people and youth organizations from all parts of the world and all walks of life by one common goal: To halt the loss of Biodiversity as soon as possible!
Despite its absolutely crucial importance for all life on earth, biodiversity continues to be lost at an unprecedented rate, estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. That means that every twenty minutes another species goes extinct forever! Protecting natural diversity is not only about preserving the beauty of nature, but also about securing the basis for our survival.
In light of these alarming facts, youth delegates from 31 countries came together at the 10th conference of the parties to the United Nation's Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP10) in Nagoya, Japan in October 2010, and decided to establish the Global Youth for Biodiversity Network.
Our mission is to raise global awareness for the intrinsic value of biodiversity. We want to strengthen and support youth efforts to promote and protect biodiversity. For this purpose GYBN provides a global platform where youth organizations and individuals active on biodiversity can get in touch with each other and are able to join forces for the protection of biological diversity on our planet.
GYBN is also the international coordination platform for youth participation in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and is committed to bring the opinions and positions of youth into the negotiations.
Biodiversity loss doesn't stop at national boarders - join our network and get connected with like-minded young people and youth organizations from all over the world! Help us to halt the loss of Biodiversity!
For more videos of the conference check our Youtube-channel!
The project is supported with funding from the German Environment Ministry (BMU) and the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN).


This ebook identifies the serious components that formed and inspired New Zealand's defence acquisition decision-making approaches from the election of the Fourth Labour govt in 1984 and the following ANZUS predicament, via to the eleven September 2001 terrorist assaults at the usa and the subsequent 'war on terror'. It explores and analyses decision-making methods with regards to the ANZAC frigates, the army sealift send HMNZS Charles Upham, the F-16 strike airplane, the P-3C Orion maritime patrol airplane improve, and the LAV IIIs.
Representatives of a number of medical groups, akin to planetary scientists, astronomers, area physicists, chemists and astrobiologists have met with the purpose to study the information on 4 significant subject matters: (1) the learn of the formation and evolution methods of the outer planets and their satellites, starting with the formation of compounds and planetesimals within the sun nebula, and the following evolution of the interiors of the outer planets, (2) a comparative learn of the atmospheres of the outer planets and Titan, (3) the research of the planetary magnetospheres and their interactions with the sun wind, and (4) the formation and homes of satellites and earrings, together with their interiors, surfaces, and their interplay with the sun wind and the magnetospheres of the outer planets.
57 The significant contribution to peacekeeping was about to grow during New Zealand's term on the UNSC. Following the end of the Cold War, there was optimism for a time that the world was entering a new era of peace. That optimism was ill-founded as ethnic conflicts erupted around the globe. Europe saw the greatest conflict since the end of the Second World War, as the former Yugoslavia disintegrated. In March 1994 the United Nations approached New Zealand informally to request that combat troops be sent to Bosnia.
His concern centred on reports that he had received from several different sources about the illegal activities of longliners fishing north of the Kermadecs. If these reports were accurate, he suggested, this activity would lead to significant depletion of stocks of juvenile fish: I am very strongly of the opinion that the deep-sea resources of the EEZ are not only under threat but are under attack and have been from the earliest days of the declaration of the 200mile Exclusive Economic Zone. 30 Davies was concerned that the RNZN should have sufficient vessels, of sufficient capability, to ensure adequate protection of New Zealand's EEZ, and to undertake the other tasks spelt out in the 1987 Defence Review.
25 The Review Committee had noted that the cost of the vessels was likely to be up to 30 per cent more if they were built in Australian yards, yet felt that the net benefit to Australia was such that the Australians could be expected to offset the cost penalty to New Zealand. Notwithstanding this observation, the Committee also noted that it was likely that potential European shipbuilders might offer a package that was more fiscally attractive, and that therefore building the ships in their country of origin was the most likely option.

What Are The Best DAWs For Beginner Producers?
When we started producing music over a decade ago, we thought picking a DAW was overwhelming, we can only imagine what it's like for someone getting started now.
On the plus side, back then DAWs were way more buggy. You'd save up for 3 months to buy software that would crash and spaz out. That sucked! Things have come a long way and now the problem these days tends to be how many choices there are.
Every DAW on this list is very good. We kind of hate on one of them, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't use it if it makes sense.
You need to try them to get a feel for what fits your music and workflow, but we want to help you narrow it down.
Do you hate reading and just want our opinion?
If you want to produce electronic, loop-based music, Ableton, FL Studio, and Bitwig are built for it. Start with one of those.
For producing Rock, Pop, Hip hop, Sync cues, and want a DAW that's well rounded and comes with a good library, try Logic Pro.
If you're more interested in mixing/mastering AND want to work with larger, established studios, get Pro Tools. If you don't care about big studios, Reaper is great.
Broke but have a Mac? Garageband.
Want a little of everything, done well? We like Studio One and Cubase.
How We Evaluated Each DAW
We have a variety of experience with each DAW listed here, some we use every day and others only for special occasions. And they are all definitely great products, depending on your needs.
One way to describe these are different versions of awesome. If a DAW is truly terrible or we don't have experience with it, we didn't review it here.
Our approach is to be as objective as possible to help you find the one that fits your needs and budget.
A lot of what you will find to be the best comes down to personal preference. They all can do basic things like audio recording, edit audio tracks, have good sound quality, and enable you to create music.
We recommend you select the 2 DAWs from this list that seem like they fit your needs the best and try them for a week or two.
Many of the options listed have a free trial or a lightweight version to help you get a feel for what it's like to make music.
And as you move through your music production journey, don't forget that you'll probably end up using a bunch of the major DAWs at some point. We're lucky to have such a robust ecosystem of music production software.
Let's dive in.
Ableton is a force of nature at this point. It comes with very good stock plugins, software instruments, has a full blown programming environment under the hood where you can build your own plugins (Max/MSP) and a huge community.
Unlike other digital audio workstations, Ableton is really good about keeping the user interface relatively clean. Lots of other DAWs are kind of overwhelming to look at when you first open them. This makes Ableton Live more beginner friendly than other options.
Ableton is also extremely popular in the electronic music production community for another reason as well: it's designed for live use.
Plenty of people use it strictly as a studio too, but the fast MIDI mapping, clean UI, and innovative Session view make it stand out among other DAWs. If you plan to take your laptop out to play shows, you'll probably end up wanting Ableton anyway so starting with it makes sense.
One place where we don't like Ableton? Sessions with very high track counts or video. Mixing or producing an orchestral score, film score, or computationally intense can sometimes have plugin latency issues. But if you're a beginner, thats probably not an issue.
Although the full version isn't cheap, they offer a free version limited to 8 tracks called Live Lite (you can still build full drum racks though!)
It ships with various MIDI controllers, but it isn't uncommon for Reddit users to just give away extra Live Lite licenses.
A track limit can actually benefit beginners too. Less tracks + less features = Less overwhelm. You can upgrade later when you're ready.
Best in class for audio manipulation or sound design and very good native plugins.
Designed for both live performance and studio use
Tutorials, lessons, and mouseover help menu are built directly into the software.
Visual elements are not delay compensated, but audio is. This can cause sync issues when writing music to video.
The session and arrangement view setup is confusing, even for pros. Plugin organization is more limited than other DAWs.
Live Lite - Free
Intro - $99
Standard - $449
Suite - $749
If you're already on Mac OS and played around in Garageband a bit, Logic Pro X is a much more powerful DAW to upgrade to, but the workflow and layout will feel familiar.
It's Apple's flagship DAW so unfortunately for PC users, you're forced to buy a Mac if you want to use this one. While it has some very sophisticated, powerful features, it's more of a "traditional" DAW compared to something like Ableton or even FL Studio.
If you read sheet music, it's worth knowing that Logic can convert MIDI into a traditional music score. Many other DAWs here don't have a feature like this at all.
Another area where Logic makes a lot of sense for beginners is the giant library of loops and sounds it ships with. They're very high quality and can help inspire you when you're still fighting the learning curve. Many other DAWs are basically just a toolbox. They don't ship with as much (or any) material.
If you end up getting Logic, you'll also get a little laugh every time you hear a stock Apple loop in some commercial. They're everywhere.
Very big, high quality sound library of Apple Loops and good virtual instruments (including powerful sampling and drum programming abilities) to get you started.
Very approachable price point (for Mac users).
Possible to use the Logic's virtual instruments for live performance with additional purchase of MainStage
Mac only. PC users are out of luck. Expensive if you need to buy an Apple machine, to then buy Logic.
Less of a feeling of community, despite being very popular.
Bitwig Studio
Bitwig is the new cool kid DAW in some ways. It's a relatively young DAW compared to everything else on this list founded by a group of former Ableton employees.
This is both good and bad for beginners. The good part is you get to jump on a moving train! It's getting better, fast. Other recording software probably won't change much year to year. You'll get to see it grow and evolve very quickly.
However, the community is smaller and some of the things it excels at is more confined to electronic music production, not other genres.
That said, if you are into electronic music, Bitwig is totally crazy in the best possible way.
The built in virtual instruments sounds great and it's much more modular than Ableton Live.
While not the cheapest DAW here, it is less expensive than Ableton and if you don't need or want unlimited tracks, there's a 16 track version that's $99.
Great stock virtual instruments, powerful sound design capabilities.
Quickly evolving. Expect new features often.
Some similarities to Live, since Bitwig was founded by ex-Ableton employees.
If you're new to music in general or haven't worked with modular synths at all, this will be a steeper learning curve and maybe a bit overwhelming.
16 track version - $99
Full version - $499
While we try to avoid saying that a DAW is best suited for a particular genre of music, the FL Studio midi sequencer is legendary in a lot of hip hop circles. If you make modern hip hop, you shouldn't have a hard time finding community or getting help with learning FL. Definitely worth demoing this one if your main musical interest is to create beats.
One of the reasons we suspect it's so popular (especially with beginners) is how easy it is to make music with just a mouse. FL Studio has some very clever features that allow you to take a pretty basic, clunky chord progression and spread out the MIDI notes in interesting ways. Want to stagger that chord like a harp player? Highlight, click, done.
This is ideal for a beginner who had to save up just to afford the laptop and the DAW, but doesn't yet have the other bells and whistles like MIDI controllers or external hardware synths.
This is actually older, more mature software than people realize too. Back in the 90s it used to literally be called Fruity Loops and all you could do was make loops on Windows 95 with the mouse.
It later grew to become a full fledged DAW suitable for all kinds of genres and music making, but where it still has its biggest edge is in loop based music.
The company is very value forward too. FL Studio always works hard to accomodate electronic music producers of all levels. There are 4 pricing tiers, starting at $99, going up to $500, with a nice catch: most DAWs require an upgrade fee when the latest version is released, usually $150-200.
Not FL Studio. You get free upgrades for life once you buy in. Sometimes new synths or plugins will cost money, but the core daw software is always a free upgrade.
Intuitive user interface, with lots of friendly drag and drop functionality.
Lifetime free upgrades.
Lots of very useful MIDI quantization functionality
Not the best choice if you eventually want to use a lot of external hardware.
Not the best DAW for audio manipulation and doesn't offer audio quantization common in other DAWs.
Multiple Tiers from $99 - $499. Free Trial is Available
Presonus Studio One
Studio One is a digital audio workstation that has been gaining popularity in recent years because it gets a lot of things right where it counts.
While it may not come with as many virtual instruments as other DAWs on the list, the ones it does come with are really well done. Same goes for its loop library. Not the biggest compared to others, but they're solid. Included plugins are very musical and not hard to figure out, like the Impact Xt Drum Sampler.
And it's priced reasonably with a few different tiers and payment options. We wouldn't be surprised if this starts to become a serious Logic Pro competitor down the road when the ecosystem is more developed.
For beginner producers who want to get their feet wet with a little of everything, Presonus Studio One is one of the best digital audio workstations to start with.
And if you decide to stay with it, the advanced functionality is there too. When we tested how latency compensation is handled, in our opinion Pro Tools, Reaper, and Presonus Studio One do the best job handling it without too many headaches to the user.
Well balanced set of features at a reasonable price.
Designed to be easy to use quickly and offers helpful extras, like a Melodyne integration for vocal production and drag and drop user interface.
Included library is limited, but good. This is helpful to not overwhelm beginners.
Some users report installation process to be tedious.
You will need extra VSTs and samples for certain genres of music. You don't get quite enough in the box.
Professional - $399 or $14.95 per month subscription
Artist - $99
Prime - Free
The OG digital audio workstation. The "industry standard". We mostly decided to include Pro Tools here for the sake of completeness, but it isn't the most beginner friendly.
For a beginner producer, we generally don't recommend Pro Tools as a first digital audio workstation.
Why? It's expensive and not really suited for music production. It's always been a mixing and recording focused tool, not a creative laboratory like Ableton Live or Bitwig. Also, why lock yourself into a pricey subscription software product if you don't have to? Lots of studios have switched away from Pro Tools for this reason alone.
If you're just getting started, there are plenty of other options that are just as (if not more!) powerful and simpler to use, like Logic Pro or Ableton Live.
There's one big exception. If you have aspirations of working as a mixing or mastering engineer in large, institutional-size recording studios that use Pro Tools.
You'll be forced to learn it so you might as well start early.
You'll know the software large, institutional studios use.
High quality built in plugins.
Very precise timing and pitch editing capabilities.
Designed to interface with lots of external hardware.
Expensive, subscription based pricing model.
Clunky UI. Not as easy to use right away.
Advanced features may be confusing to a beginner.
Artist - $9.99 per month
Studio - $31.99 per month
Flex - $99.99 per month
For some reason Garageband (a.k.a. GarbageCan) gets left out of a lot of these best DAW lists.
We like Garageband. It may be small, but it is mighty.
While is isn't suitable for hardcore audio engineering, if you want to understand the basics of making dance music or the recording process, there's absolutely no shame in using the DAW already installed on your Mac.
Since its already there you might as well fire it up and get to making music if you're curious.
The same goes for people using an iPad or even a phone. Garageband is a good place to get your feet wet, even if it is kind of a basic DAW. It's an amazing tool for beginners that doesn't get enough credit.
That said, the plugins, sound library, editing features, and piano roll, are not nearly as comprehensive as those found in DAWs like Logic Pro or Ableton Live. So you will certainly outgrow Garageband and at some point and need to upgrade to something else on the list.
Logic Pro would be the closest to Garageband if you like the workflow or you could jump into something totally different like FL Studio or Bitwig Studio to give yourself a different perspective.
Already on your computer if you have a Mac.
Very simple to learn and use.
Features are limited so you will eventually outgrow it.
Free and already bundled with Mac OS.
Reaper is one of the most value packed DAWs for making music, period.
As far as performance, it's measurably one of the best DAWs. It uses the smallest amount of memory of anything on this list and will run on nearly any operating system (including Linux!) and is coded very efficiently, so it performs well even on older computers.
There is a very enthusiastic and helpful audio community around Reaper. And thank goodness for that because while it's worth the struggle, Reaper is not the easiest DAW to setup and doesn't behave as smoothly as others out of the box.
Some menus are downright terrifying.
Exhibit A. This looks like the work of Satan.
But the hassle is worth it. Reaper is one of the most powerful and customizable DAWs out there.
You can even download skins to make it looks like other DAWs and code custom scripts to automate parts of your production process. Don't like setting up a session over and over? If you're comfortable coding you can write a script to make Reaper do the boring work for you.
Its light on software instruments, but comes with a decent amount of built in plugins that have very bland user interfaces. This is not an insult. These bland UIs are good for beginners.
They force you to use your ears and develop a real skill. Ableton Live also does a decent job at this with their native plugins.
Whats the problem with cool looking plugins like what Logic Pro or FL Studio use? They trick you into listening with your eyes and you don't always make the best musical choices.
And Reaper is a rare gem in terms of pricing. There's a free trial. When that's over, it doesn't disable anything, it just nicely asks you to pay. And a basic license is $60 for everything. Unlimited MIDI tracks, unlimited audio tracks, full piano roll functionality, the works.
It's so affordable for the amount of value in this DAW, we're kind of concerned they aren't making enough money. The people at Reaper are doing the Lord's work as far as we're concerned.
Extremely customizable.
Affordable, easy to understand pricing
Clever editing and quality of life features like a render queue and drawable CC parameters on MIDI tracks.
Light on software instruments. Might not be the best choice for electronic producers.
Beginners may find audio routing confusing.
Requires some setup. Doesn't "just work" like other DAWs out of the box.
Personal Use - $60
Commercial use - $225
Free trial is very generous.
Out of all the DAWs here, Steinberg Cubase has some of the most interesting roots and is a bit of a cult classic. It's more accessible to the beginner than it used to be, especially since the latest version doesn't require a dongle for authentication anymore, just a Sterinberg account.
The average FL Studio or Ableton Live user might consider it obscure, but it's been around a long time (the company got started in the 1980's with MIDI sequencing products) and they have a rich history of technical innovation. A lot of electronic producers don't realize the VST format was created by Steinberg, despite VSTs being everywhere.
Also, the people who use Cubase tend to really really love Cubase and think its the best DAW ever so there's a good community around it if you have questions or want to learn from tutorials online.
If you have plans to do a ton of MIDI editing, Cubase is offers an excellent experience, especially if you aspire to write music with a ton of instrument tracks like in an orchestral score. On the audio side, they also are known for creating very clever features first that the rest of the industry eventually catches up.
It's not the cheapest of the DAWs (don't worry it's not as bad as Pro Tools) but they offer a few tiers, including a beginner friendly version under $100.
Extremely responsive audio engine. Want to edit a clip while you're recording through your audio interfaces? No problem.
Very comprehensive MIDI editor.
Rich history of being ahead of the curve. They tend to invent cool features that the rest of the industry copies a few years later.
Installation may be tedious and messy for a beginner.
A lot going on in the user interface. Can be overwhelming. Some people feel it is too crowded and dated.
Elements - $99
Artist - $329
Pro - $579
Real Talk: Should You Use A Cracked Copy Or Buy It?
Everyone knows that people can crack software, including the people who make DAW software.
We're not going to tell you not to do it, because its pretty typical for people to learn on a pirated copy somewhere in the musical journey, especially if you're just starting out. Many of us were broke college students at one point who couldn't afford to throw down $500 for music software that takes months to learn.
You might as well be informed though so you understand the risks.
The main reason not to use cracked software instruments, DAWs, plugins or anything else is the risk of malware.
Your machine could get hacked. Or it might just get really buggy and slow because a hacker is running some process on your machine in the background.
The other big reason not to use cracked software is sometimes you actually need help from support.
You'll find some weird bug thats screwing up a big session or the DAW will start crashing for no obvious reason. In these situations, sometimes customer support will save your ass.
You're much better off using a free daw or saving up for one you can afford.
Look Mom! No DAW!
We saved this option for last because its the wildcard option. The "DAWless" trend is to use hardware other than a laptop to record music, even if you plan on sending it off to someone else for mixing or mastering.
A good example of this is the Akai MPC ecosystem which is legendary in hip hop. The MPC has only gotten more powerful over the years and is basically a music focused computer, even though it might not feel like it. Modern MPCs can connect to WiFi, download samples from Splice, and have full blown synth plugins now.
And unlike a laptop, it will probably get better over time as updates are released that extend it's functionality, versus a computer which usually tends to just get slower as new software outpaces what it can do.
Another approach used here is to build a system of hardware synths and samplers, then instead of using an audio interface and computer to record, a basic stereo recorder or hardware multitrack recorder is used.
We felt the need to include the no DAW option mostly because so much amazing music has been made in this way and many electronic music producers still work like this.
We're lucky to have so many great options for producing music so we hope you now have a better idea of what best options are out there and what each DAW's advantages and disadvantages are.
Now, the rest is up to you! Get started on that free trial to get your feet wet with the DAW that resonates with your vision.

TIMIO is an educational audio and music player that uses magnetic discs to unlock a library of curated content, from nursery rhymes and lullabies to fairy tales and vocabulary, all in 6 different languages: ENGLISH, SPANISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, DUTCH and MANDARIN CHINESE... (more to come in the future).
TIMIO consists of two parts: the Portable Digital Audio Player and the Interactive Content Discs that activate the content on the Digital Audio Player.
TIMIO comes with up to 20 different discs with a broad range of fun and engaging content for multiple ages, on various subjects, and in 6 different languages.
Curious to hear how all this great content sounds? Check out a small sample of different discs in the sound file below!
Unlike other kids' audio players on the market, TIMIO is interactive.
Not only does it allow children to select the content they'd like to play, but with the vocabulary discs, TIMIO will also quiz the child to find an item. Children are more engaged and this interactivity reinforces the learning process.
TIMIO is the toy that helps your child grow and grows with your child.
Because of TIMIO's wide range of disc topics, it can serve as their companion for years to come. TIMIO can be used from birth to grade-school. The lullabies disc will soothe your baby to sleep from day one.
As babies grow, parents can play their favorite nursery rhymes to them, and later, as they start developing their motor skills around 18-24 months, they'll be able to easily place the disc of their choice and tap an image to play their favorite songs or start learning vocabulary.
All the TIMIO content is available in 6 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese ... (more to come in the future).
It's perfect for children growing in a multi-lingual environment! Your little one can practice new words or listen to fairy tales in 6 different languages, all available in one single toy.
Note: Mandarin Chinese sample to available yet.
With TIMIO, we designed an easy-to-use magical audio player that allows children to choose their own music and stories without a distracting screen. Children dance freely to music and the stories fire their imagination.
Don't just take our word for it. See how parents feel about TIMIO!
We have developed, iterated, and tested TIMIO for over two years to ensure we have fully realized all of our design goals. We have gone through multiple versions of TIMIO, each better than the last.
We can't thank you enough for checking out our project and helping us make TIMIO a success. We know that not everyone will be able to support us with a pledge, so even if you can't back us up, if you believe in TIMIO, you can help us spread the word on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram and anywhere else you can think of!
Shipping is a long, complicated process, and we're focusing on avoiding pitfalls that happen when setting shipping fees upfront.
Following the lead of a lot of other toy Kickstarter campaigns, we will add on the shipping cost through our pledge manager after the campaign has ended and you've given us your shipping details. This will be done at cost, so we won't make any money from shipping.
We have identified a shipping partner. We have identified the approximate shipping cost to be in the €8-19 range per unit (1 TIMIO + 10/20 discs + storage bag) depending on your location. This is not including tax and duty fees in certain countries, which are out of our control.
Depending on the volumes that we'll have to ship to each country, we may decide to send a bulk shipment for local distribution which may help cut the shipping price even further.
We will always keep shipping information transparent and work hard to make the process as easy as possible. We will try to give you more details on shipping cost and time as we have more information on the subject.
TIMIO has been under development for two years by a team with a proven track record of creating and delivering technology products and businesses. This is, however, our first product for children and, rightly, there are unique risks and regulations in the children's market.
Bringing a physical product to life is challenging! To address this challenge, we've been working with top manufacturers of both toys and audio products on product design, sourcing and scheduling. In fact, the factory we have chosen is a contract manufacturer for one of the largest toy companies in the world. We have explicitly chosen not to take risks on production techniques, materials or components to avoid manufacturing and sourcing issues.
- Production: we have a fully functional prototype but still need to convert its design into a mass production compatible one. The production partner for the consumer product has been selected. The success of our Kickstarter campaign and the number of devices to be manufactured will have a significant impact on the selection of the parts for manufacturing and for the manufacturing itself. This selection may lead to unforeseen delays. We are however confident that we can quickly overcome any issues that might come up during the manufacturing process.
- Certifications: TIMIO is both an electronic product and a product for children. We want to make sure it will be up to all and every standard set in the various countries it will be shipped to. The certification process can be complex and long and may lead to additional delays. We plan on working with specialized consulting companies to help us go through that stage.
The audio content of all presented discs has already been created, thus we don't foresee any issues regarding content. We want you, as a customer, to have access to a comprehensive library of music, stories and educational material that your little one will love, so we didn't want to take any risks here!
Our current delivery estimates remain tentative, but as a team we promise to work hard, day and night, to meet our project timeline and present TIMIO in a well-scheduled manner. Comes what may, updates on the manufacturing progress will be a high priority for us and we will keep you informed of any updates and challenges we may encounter and our plan to deal with them.

Screen Actors Guild Awards 2015: The Best of the Red Carpet
Jennifer Aniston, Keira Knightley, Emma Stone and more
1/26/15, 8:38 AM 2015-01-26T08:38:47+04:00
As awards season continues, a myriad of actors, producers, directors and TV personalities took to the red carpet yesterday for the Screen Actors Guild Awards 2015 – where we saw blockbusters in film and fashion...
Often said to be one of Hollywood's favourite awards shows – as it's the only trophy show where actors vote for each other in movie and TV categories – some of the world's most esteemed stars came out last night to support each other and maybe even receive their own gold statue at last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards 2015.
Wearing a simple Ricardo Tisci-designed black jumpsuit, Julia Roberts was one of the first stars to pose for photographers on the red carpet before entering the Los Angeles venue. Reese Witherspoon, who sported a beautiful white Giorgio Armani gown and Julianne Moore, who sparkled in a green beaded Givenchy dress, were also among the first to arrive as they skipped the press line.
Elsewhere, Maggie Gyllenhaal wore a Thakoon dress as she spoke to fellow actors and Jennifer Anniston wore a daring number from John Galliano. Meanwhile Birdman star Edward Norton was seen talking about his Calvin Klein suit and why he selected it – apparently he likes "up-and-coming American designers."
Keira Knightley was one of the best dressed ladies of the night in a plum-coloured lace gown by Erdem Moraliglu, as well as Modern Family's Sarah Hyland who sported a custom-made Vera Wang frock.
Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camilla Alves mingled with Lenny Kravitiz as they closed out the red carpet before the big ceremony, while Emma Stone posed for a few last photos in her menswear-inspired, sheer dress from Dior and Repossi ear cuff.

ACME is a visual kei band that formed in 2017 consisting of former DIV vocalist CHISA and guitarist SHOGO, former ARTEMA drummer HAL,
and bassist RIKITO.
The name of the band means "the vertex of evolution" and the band concept is "Delinquent boys from another world". Well known for their post-hardcore sound and colorful "oshare" style visuals, ACME are quickly rising in the visual kei scene.
Their first mini-album release in August of 2017, "SENKOU", sold out first press copies nationwide. ACME's second single release "ROTTEN ORANGE" also had the track "CALL MY NAME" featured in the movie "Namae no nai onna tachi: Usotsuki Onna," starring Mitsuru Fukikoshi.
At Anime Expo 2018 in LA, CHISA walked the AX Fashion Show runway for Harajuku fashion designers KINGLYMASK, LISTEN FLAVOR, and HYPER CORE. ACME made their overseas debut performance at Anime Milwaukee 2019 and returned in June of that year at A-Kon in Dallas. ACME headlined a tour in January 2020 in 4 cities along the US west coast.
